Who is Josh?

Not many young people are afforded the opportunity to start programming web applications in Java just barely a year after graduating high school. Fewer still are directing an IT department's decisions and long-term direction in their mid-twenties. From quality testing complex enterprise systems at scale to building a web of critical Linux infrastructure from scratch to support major business operations, Josh's professional charisma and voracious drive to master the arts of technology have allowed him to rapidly gain a broad experience across the Information Technology spectrum. Through his experiences, he has borne witness to multiple injustices at the hands of mainstream IT service providers that are making technology work against us instead of for us. His mission is simple:

1. Establish a unique company that is not biased towards any single brand, platform, or method.
2. Maintain an awareness of and foster experimentation with all available solutions, systems, services, and frameworks that the umbrella of modern IT has to offer.
3. Bring practical technology solutions into the hands of this country's brave entrepreneurs and those who keep our communities economically thriving.
4. Improve lives through the application of humanity's combined ingenuity in the form of established open-source software.

It's these simple tenets that are missing from the core operations of major IT service providers in the area, and it's these core tenets which will propel Tech Grips to success over its competition. Josh firmly believes that there's a ton of good that needs to be done in the world. Tech Grips is his first step forward towards ensuring the right thing is done for good people at scale. These ambitions will be carried out through Josh's plan of an organized approach toward implementing already available open standards and making them more accessible to a non-technical audience.

Josh's journey is not just about overcoming challenges; it's about forging a new path for IT that's responsive, ethical, and forward-thinking. His dedication to transparency, customer empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of excellence defines the spirit of Tech Grips. In an industry often criticized for its opacity and inertia, Josh stands as a beacon for change, committed to delivering solutions that are as dynamic as they are dependable. With a clear vision and a steadfast commitment to his values, he is ready to lead Tech Grips not just to compete, but to redefine what it means to be a true partner in technology.
